1 1 6 Using ‘gzip’ on tapes 1 *********************** 1 1 When writing compressed data to a tape, it is generally necessary to pad 1 the output with zeroes up to a block boundary. When the data is read 1 and the whole block is passed to ‘gunzip’ for decompression, ‘gunzip’ 1 detects that there is extra trailing garbage after the compressed data 1 and emits a warning by default if the garbage contains nonzero bytes. 1 You can use the ‘--quiet’ option to suppress the warning. 1
